Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 672,176 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 672,176 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,656
2 | 244, 656 |
2 | 122, 328 |
61, 164 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 61 x 164 = 40016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/40016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/244,176/656 is 16/40016
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 244,656 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,656) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,656) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(244,656) = ( 244 × 656 ) / 4
LCM(244,656) = 160064 / 4
LCM(244,656) = 40016
